In order to generate usable Mapquest URLs, need a way to remove the

Is there an easy way to do this? In the past, I've used an NSString
category which takes a dictionary where the key is the character
you want to replace, and the value is the replacement. The method
enumerate the keys in the dictionary and use
componentsSepratatedByString and then componentsJoinedByString to
do the replacement.
You might try CFStringTransform() with
kCFStringTransformStripCombiningMarks. That won't take ß to ss, but
you could use CFStringFindAndReplace() for that.
